ok Mike like i sayed one way is buy coils to lower the front. some guys cut there stock coils but damn it rides bad. and then flipping the hangers and shackels in the rear. I can acully show you in person what you need to do in the rear if you want to know. there is a few of us going to be at my house on friday afternoon

here is a 2" lowering spring http://store.summitracing.com/partde...7+4294924667+0 and its like $15 in bolts for the rear to flip it. unless you have a stuck shackel and need to replace the stocker. then remeber you will need an alignment

As soon as you lower it youll like it and want to go lower you will need a kit or buy more parts. Might as well spend the money and do it right you will be happy you did it in the end. Lowering is a disease Once you start you will be wanting to go lower and lower until your bodydropped laying rocker haha.

There is nothing wrong with cutting coils as long as you do it right and do not heat them up and cut them evenly. Any lowered vehicle is going to ride a bit bumpy

I'm thinking about lowering my truck a bit, it's the FX4 '05, it's has stock 3" blocks in the rear, and i guess cranked up torsion bars in the front. if i removed the blocks, and had the torsion bars cranked down a bit, would i need new shocks? just bought and replaced with new ones last week. Also can a person crank the torsion bar down/up by themselves?

a few things...
https://www.ranger-forums.com/forum2...ad.php?t=27795 <-- thats what happens to your upper balljoints when you let out 2+ inches of your front suspension. you have no travel left and bottom them out.
You will also wear harder on your front CV shafts/berrings/hubs.
Its your truck, do as you please, but things will start wearing really quick on ya.
